Rachel, Emma gave up Oscar nomination for Olivia Colman

Actress Olivia Colman says Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone, her co-stars in the 2019 film, The Favourite, refused to be nominated in the Best Actress categor y at Oscars 2019 so that she could have a bigger chance of winning. “What I didn’t realise for the Oscars was that you are meant to say what category you want to go up for. I went, 'no, that's rude. I’m not doing that’. And also because I felt that we were all three equal people — Emma, me and Rachel were three equals. I said, ‘if they can't change it so that we can all be equals, then I don't want to do it, because it's not right’,” Colman told Total Film Magazine.
